2015-16 projected lineup

Curious if anyone knowledgeable in Madison will share info on Stickley wrestling Rowh/Grahek?  I'm an admitted homer and would enjoy seeing stick' start ASAP.  If a Freshman is best, don't RS.

imo you only start a true freshman if the kid is good enough, if they only plan on being in college 4 years and they help the team placement at the end of the year. Otherwise let the kid develop a year, get used to D1 wrestling, get use to going to college and being away from home. This will likely make him that much better in years to come. The Badgers will not be a better team with him starting... well I mean it won't change their end of season results... so why take a year from him... and what happens when Taylor comes back and maybe Lantz is the best 141, then you really took a year from him.

So if you were to learn that Ritter beat Peissig by a score of 8-3 in a wrestle off,
do you put Ritter on varsity or let Peissig wrestle varsity this year and
redshirt Ritter?
I would still support the argument for redshirting Ritter.
However, my opinion changes if Ritter says he badly wants to wrestle this year.

Thielke should be returning next season correct? If Stickly is the best option for the year why not put him in and redshirt him when thielke comes back next season

So did he beat Erik?

Purely hypothetical example.
I am waiting for the results for when they do.

I have "heard" that Mr. Stickley is one of the hardest workers in the room.  He will redshirt and go wherever RT don't next year.

Theres a couple other guys in the room that will have something to say about that.

as I said if the wrestler is good with it then I can see it, but otherwise no. I'm sure plenty of teams have redshirt that are better than current starters, just because you can beat the current starter doesn't exactly make you a quality D1 starter. I mean say your starter goes 8-20 on the year and the RS could go 13-15... not really worth pulling the RS. If our team was strong except for 1 weight and at that weight we could improve by taking a true freshman out of RS then it is the proper decision. If your team is a middle of the pack team, then it only makes sense to allow that young man to have a season to adjust and get even better for the next 4 years.
